Washington Library Association is hosting WA Library Legislative Day in Olympia on Wed., Feb. 5. Read more about it and register here. Registration is free and it’s a great way to become involved in library advocacy. Highlights of the event include:
Connect with library supporters from all types of libraries around the state.
Attend sessions and hear testimony from fellow library professionals along with WLA lobbyist Carolyn Logue.
Meet with State legislators and their staff to discuss the value of libraries and the impact laws have on them.
Understand how to give effective testimony and advocate for libraries, to better support them in years to come!
I wanted to reach out to this group to let you all know that we just finished digitizing our library’s copy of Arthur Beardsley’s The Bench and Bar of Washington, The First Fifty Years (1849-1900) and it is now available on our institutional repository here. As many of you know, this 42-chapter manuscript provides details about the first attorneys and judges in the Washington Territory and is a treasure trove of historical information from the region’s early years.
Please feel free to share this link with any fellow librarians, attorneys, or faculty who would benefit from digital access to this material.
Save the date! This year’s holiday party will be held on Thursday, December 5th. Details can be found below. Thanks to our sponsors LexisNexis and Thomson Reuters for making the event possible!
When:
Thursday, December 5th, 5:30-7:30 PM
Where:
The Triple Door, 216 Union Street, Seattle, WA 98101

This year we will be hearing from individuals who helped develop AI chatbots at law firms – the process, implementation, guidelines, etc. If you have any specific questions prior to the meeting please pass those along to us as we would love to incorporate them into the panel.

On that note, if you attended AALL this year and would be willing to talk about your experience, please reach out to myself or Karen Whitney. We’d love to get perspectives from as many folks as possible!
